Advanced pilot filtration solutions for demanding downstream bioprocessing
The ePILOT® TFF system is a pilot-scale tangential flow filtration equipment designed for demanding bioprocessing product recovery and purification for every biotech industry, complementing and enhancing the efficiency of the overall process. As standard, it includes a 50L tank and, it allows a maximum pilot filtration performance of 2.5 square meters of total membrane surface area using Membrane Cassette and 6.5 square meters of total membrane surface area using Hollow fiber.
Our Tangential Flow Filtration offers efficient and reliable pilot filtration, high flow rates, high solute retention, and advanced features for optimal performance during downstream processing. Other stainless steel vessel sizes (50 up to 200 liters) are available upon request, offering scalability to suit different processing needs. Additionally, the system is fully automatic by default, utilizing differential pressure, transmembrane pressure, or crossflow as control regulation for process concentration and diafiltration.
This equipment contributes to the efficiency of the overall bioprocess upstream and downstream processes, ensuring the successful transition between these two crucial stages with a user-friendly interface and a compact design for easy integration into existing pipelines. The ePILOT® TFF advanced system includes a variety of operational modes such as TMP, concentration, diafiltration, and water flux test modes, making it highly versatile for different bioprocessing requirement.
